    I'm a mmj user who is having problems with the burnout I get after smoking. If I use in the evening after work I'm alot of times still "hung over" the next day. I used heavily this weekend(meaning taking a couple hits here and there to stay high.Heavy for me anyways) and I feel fried right now. I was using Grape Ape then turned over to Grand Daddy Purple and then I smoked a small piece of hash I took 1 hit on some GDP and I still feel retarded and today is Tuesday after that hit on sunday I quit using all together. I'm taking small tokes one or two but I'm getting alot of side effects. The whole reason I started this was to get off of prescription painkillers but the weed is giving more side effects than the oxycontin and percocet combined! Is this normal in new users? Is it the kind I am smoking? I got some "headband" which is supposed to be more sativa will this help? I have a real medical problem and want to safely get off the painkillers but not at the cost of feeling like a space case(I mean it's bad). Any suggestions?

    To answer your questions. Yes, as a new user you are going to have to get used to being stoned on a regular basis. Just like any medication you will have to adjust. I also think you are trying way to many different kinds of weed. Depending on your problems I would suggest sticking with one type. The Indicas tend to help with more body pain problems while the sativas are more about that headie feeling. I suggest you try and pace yourself and smoke a little bit at a time. However much you need to make it feel better.

    I also want to ask if you have considered ingesting the weed. Don't just eat it but do it the right way. Capsules or Brownies. I don't know your medical condition and I am not a doctor but I have somewhat of a clue. Feel free to PM me if you need more help.

    Otherwise, smoke, enjoy the high and get used to it. It can take a little bit but is well worth it. Some of the ways you can help yourself adjust is to make sure you are drinking plenty of liquids. Caffeinated drinks help to break up the high if it's too much but then you get all wired so try to keep a happy medium there as well.

    Good Luck.

    Yeah I actually thought about ingesting them I just don't know how much to each. Also why capsules and how? I'm a total lightweight and a toke or two is enough to get me pretty decent. No way I could just smoke an entire bowl. I have always been very sensitive to weed and get high off amazingly small abounts. Alcohol I used to be able to drink and drink but weed just tears me up. So what is a "normal" amout to use and how would I go about it? Also, I read on the back of an edible that i bought but never ate that you could get wasted for up to 8 hours off eating rather than smoking? Would I eat the amout that smoking gets me high? Sorry if my questions are stupid I'm just trying to balance out going to work and toking up without getting myself in trouble. I can't go in lit from the night befor without raising some eyes. My boss is an asshole looking for a reason to mess with me so I need to be careful.

    you will build a tolerance and this 'hangover' feeling will become less of a problem until you start going the other way and begin craving and loving the next morning 'feeling:D..also those are some potent strains that make even me..a seasoned stoner..retain a 'hydro hangover' but i fucking love it...wakin up with that shit eating stupid perma grin...

    heres a good idea. just smoke until u black out. u wont have to worry about going to work cuz ull be out and u wont have to worry about the hangover becasue ull be out! ok thats a terrbile idea. but really im pretty sure u shouldnt be smoking that much. im all for a good toke but thats a little much isnt it? i know if i drank like that id be dead by now. just a thought. maybe cut back a little bit

    So you think maybe I should get some shitty weed? I have been buying topshelf maybe I should go to lower shelf strains. Seriously I only take a toke or two at most and I'm good. I have had the best results with the grape ape. I really don't care for the Grandaddy purple all that much. I seen some "black widow" which is supposed to be a mid-grade does anyone know about this strain or the "headband"? I was thinking that by getting away from the indicas maybe this would help? Go with the Sativas?

    Your body could be detoxing from the pain meds too. All it takes is one or two tokes and I'm blazed too. When I switched from other meds to pot, it took a few weeks or so to get used to smoking regularly, but now, I wouldn't change a thing.

    that probably doesnt use enough electricity to get the police to notice. sometimes the police catch people who grow in their homes because they see a sudden spike in electricity usage. that looks like it doesnt use a lot of electricity though

    When I say shitty I meant brown weed which I don't even think they sell. There are "midshelf" strains maybe I should go for that. I don't even think brown is that shitty thats just what most weedsnobs consider it so I guess thats what I call it too. There were alot of times when good old brown was all we had and it did the trick just fine.
